10 it is 'a still fur-ther objlectof the invention to provide aConstruction in which the 'lip Apaste i'sfcarried in fa separatecontainer which may be inserted "as a Whole n1-"the box for renewalpurposes, and im which fthe lold conl15 taiier att'er the supply ofpaste'has been eX- l-iaii'sted may -be easily removed and renewed. Thebox also includes a sanitary /closur'e tor this container While in thebox 'which will 'be swung to Iand from the closed position for 20 thecontainer When'the compartment ortlie contaii'ier, is lclosed orIopened.

lVri'thfth'e foregoing and fotlier objects in vieiv, have devised theconstruction ilfliustrated in the accompanying drawing forinling a part-ot 'this specification, similar' reference fcharac'ters Ebeing employedthroughout Athe various `figures to indicate correspending elements. Inthis drawing,

Fig. 7 is a side 'elevation thereof.

My `improved box includes fhinged cover 'afndbody sections l0 and'llrespectively-,the hinged connection between the sections Ebeing shown at`12. These sections lare preferably made of sheet nietal and "their`4top and bottom Walls are 'preferably concavo-convex, as indicated tofgive -a neat 4and attractive apS i pearance to tfheboXandalsotogive-agreater "to tjfboz. "The sheeting edges 'of lvided withan inwardly extending lug 22.

the VAcover Aand body sections are torined teleV scoping to `'give atighter closure. For this purpose thev upper portion 13 'of the sideWallis of the body 'section is reduced in 'diaI-neter 'to iit Within theopen side ott the cover section, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the exposed.portions of the si'de.\valls 'of the cover and 'body sections are 'ofsubstantially the saine diameter to give ra practically fcontinuoussurtaceto the box when closed. The sections are llfrel'd in closedposition by tafsuitable catch, 'such Aas Ia lip it, q noijectingffronithe body section .'to- 'engage 'a shoulder l5 'formed in ythe 'coverisec'ti-"on by cutting the side Wall thereof and vforcing :a portion fofthe wall outwardly.

On its opposite side or back is inounti'al a` closure El l tor theopen container 24:. This closure, in order to nialic a` neat andsanitary construction, is preferably a Ilat plate of sonic materialwhich is not corroded or chemically affected by the paste within thecontainer, such as aluminum. lt is preferably secured `to the back ofthe holder by means 0f ears 53E-lent and bent hackvardly from the backof the holder and passingr through openings in the closure and thenfolded over ou the surface thereof, :is indicated in Figs. 3 and 5. Atthe opposite end from the hinge 2S, the holder or flange 537 is providedwith a `ring or other suitable inea ns S55-i f or siviiiginn' the holderon its hinge to gir i to the compartment in which the rouge pastecontaiiier is mounted. The holder El? tits tight.- ly Within the insertor ring 11,8 to :forni a tight, closure therefor and also to retain. theholder i in the closed position when the box is open.

`compartment also removes the closure Afrom the `ronge paste container,and this paste is, therefore, exposed for use. Also, for the samereasons, when the mirror holder Q7 is forced back to its originalposition to close the compartment in the cover section, the closureplate 3l is forced tightly against the open side edge ol the container3ft and tightly seals the same. i

The container 24 is preferably oi aluminum or other suitable materialwhich will not he afteeted by the paste, and will be purchased on theiiiarltet complete. as indicated iii Figs. 6 and 7, lilled with thepaste. It is closed by acover 3ft and sealed by ineens of a strip `ofpaper or other suitable material 35 pasted around the edges, asinidicateth and et' course any uiarkin as grrzjuile marks,traile-inarliel and so Fort'h may be printed. on this paper. When theuser wishes to renew the supply of rouge, pasto .in the box all that. isnecessary is to break the paper seal, remove the cover lfl and theninsert the container holding the paste iii the, vanity box as abovedescribed.

lhis construction of box provides an ainple supply otivliitc or fleshcolored powder for ordinary use, but there s always pro-` vided also thelip paste in the sealed com partaient where it is easily accessible.This is :i niore convenient and more satisfactory I'oriii ot lip pastethan that of the usual lip stick, and usually the paste in thisl tornimay be secured in a better quality, and it also is )iorided iu 'ust therie'ht consisteiic7 `i'or b application. '.lhe closure 3l tightly closesthe container While in the case so that it is perfectlysanitary at alltimes, and as this closure is a plain 'flat disc it is easily cleaned.
